Does algae grow better in warm water or in cooler water?

Or is it that a certian pool owner tends to ignore the pool mopre often when one cannot swim in it any more?

I think you're on to something there.

Warm water stimulates algae growth, colder water suppresses it. Once your water goes below 50 algae shouldn't grow at all.

You gotta maintain your water until you close.

Keith, I think this is another key benefit of an SWG. Less usage means lapses in maintenece which the SWG can make up for. Im not saying its in lieu of but it helps when you forget to do anything for 4-5 days, even up to a week.
